A Woman's Temper.

If l want to tell a woman's temper I
watch her eyelids. You can read u man
the same way, but not so readily. A
woman with a fiery temper will move her
eyelids with a snap, and that snap be
trays her. Another who is easy going
and hard to arouse moves her eyelids
languidly. One with a quick brain and
a temper furious when aroused just winks
steadily, but neither quickly nor slowly,
until engaged in interesting conversation.

Darbys Prophylactic Fluid is unequaled
in the treatment of Scarlet Fever. Used
as a gargle it prevents the throat from
becoming diphtheritic, allays the infama-
ton and spbdues the pain. Used to
sponge the body it allays the itching infa-
nation of the skin and destroys infection.
Exposed in the sick room it will pre-
vent the spread of c~ontagion, and keep
the atmosphere wholesome.

Memorial Day.

The observance of Memorial Day shows no
abatement of interest or patriotism. but rather
al increase of both. 1t has taken the place of
the 4th Of July a. day for recalling the gal
liant deeds of the past. for perpetuaing the
memories of those who gave their lives for the
Union, and for Installing in the minds of the
young the principles of freedom and civil
rights upon which this great Nation is found
ed. The programme of the day is fitting in all
its parts. The march of the survivors of the
war->adly diminishing in numbers year by
year-to the cemeteries. the grateful task of
Strewing with flowers the graves Of the dead.
the inspiring strains Of martial music, the
funeral dirge. the prayer. and the Grafton, with
its words of remembrance and patriotism al
serve useful and holy purpose. There is 10
other day of all our holidays of which so much
can be said. or which calls for more sacred OBJ
servance. Let us see to it that 50 far As our
example tends it may never degenerate into a
day of sports and pa>timcs: that those who
come after Us may keep burning the fires of
patriotic ardor and annually >trew afresh the
fast increasing number of grassy mounds that
mark the last resting places Of the patriotic
dead.

Despite the cloudy sky and dampness of tho
weather quite soodly number of our citizens gath
cred at the cemetery on the morning of Memorial
day. Ii seemed as if our city of the dead, though
always beautiful, was never more lovely than th,.
morning, even though the sky was overcast and
gloomy, making it seem as If the nation reall,
mourned over our dead with us, and the cloud.
which darkcned the struggling sunbeams were n
veil to hide her tears. The services which took
place were devoid of all pomp. No great parade
no martial music no firing of salues, and yet every
heart seemed to feel that grief and reverence duo
to the day.
The cemetery was decorated in a simple hui
very tasteful manner. In the center was erected ;
stand irapcd and trimmed with flags, and from
this arose monument of white, upon the top OF
which rested pure white dove, that emblem OF
peace which cost the life of SO many of on,
country's noble braves.
The summer house at the rear of the yard was
prettiy embellished with flags and bore the motto
eve mourn our dead" The graves were decorated
previous To the services, which consisted of PRAY
er by Capt. Robert Hitchbo-n, singing of appropri
ate selections, and a very fine address bv Col
Brownell Granger, touching upon those noble In
have impelled man to battle, from the time OF
the first strife of which we have knowledge down
to the present century; followed by reading of tn,
roll of honor which numbers ffty-six in all.
y few excellent remarks were made by Mr.
Joseph Thompson, In which he referred to the
soldier of the revolution who had slept in an un
marked grave in Il neighboring cemetery in oul
town for so many years, and pleased t.
know that an appropriation Of $50 has lately beer
made by the town for the purpose of marking THU
grave in the manner which it deserves.
The services of the day closed by all uniting ant
singing America. All the arrangements for decorl
tom were made in very short space of time. NJ
money was appropriated by the town for the occ:,
sion, all necessary funds being contributed b,
citizens. We can but feel proud of the result ant
very grateful to all who lent helping hand il
making it a success.

"Perley" Dead.

Ben: Perlcy FoOrc, known all over New England
as "Perley," from his long connection as Washing
ton correspondent with that fayoritc New England,
newspaper, the Boston journal, died in Washing
ton. ID. c., last Sunday morning, aged 81 wears.
The cause of his death was Bright's disease, from
which he had been great sufferer for many wears.
In a private letter written In July last, Major
POorc referred to his journalistic career and took
pride evidently in the fact that he began as A,
society correspondent forty five years ago In Paris
and wrote for the Boston Atlas descriptions of
balls at the Tuileres and the dresses worn by the
ladies attending them modelling his style after the
"raconteurs' of the French press and the writers
for the Court Journal and similar publications in
London. He further said in the same letter that
he began in 1S47 to write letters from Washington.
In which he always gave much society news For
three successive winters before the war he wrote
weekly society letter to the New York Times, and
also contributed society matter to the Washington
Star and to the States, of Washington, d. C. A
contemporary says of him: "MajOr Ben: Perlcy
POOrc was one of the relics of q past agc-of the
age Of Webster, Clay and Calhoun. No man at
washington was more widely known. There was
no one whose memory embraced 80 much of the
actual working history OF our country during tho
present century; no one who had enjoyed the per.
sOnal acquaintance and friendship of SO many
whose names arc written large upon tho walls Of
time"
